As a global mobile phone retailer began its regional upgrade of its stores to focus on a broader range of connected devices, the stores were to gain a new look as they changed both the products they sell and the way they sell them.

Challenges
As the client began its design of the new look stores to be rolled out across the UK, Elelock were asked to supply our class leading GEMiSYS2 retail security system.
The clients move into a wider range of products sparked a whole new store design concept. The new store design was required to maximise retail space availability to enable them to securely display a much wider range of products.
In order to maximise retail space, the Back-of-House areas were reduced and the Front-of-House areas increased. This required a shift in product storage strategies in some stores. More product would be moved to secure Front-of-House storage but access to the product needed to remain swift.
Solution
Elelock were able to support from the early stages of the store design to ensure a best-in-class system could be rolled out with ease.
Working alongside architects, designers, manufacturers and users ensured that exactly the right system could be specified and supplied.
The flexibility and range of solutions available from Elelock enabled the maximum utilization of all furniture types for stock storage. Display cabinets, shelves and even seating were able to be utilized effectively ensuring secure, discrete, plentiful storage which was, in some cases, almost invisible to the visiting customer.
